What drying runs into in Sioux Falls
Serving Sioux Falls and the surrounding area, including All Saints, Downtown, Pettigrew Heights, McKennan Park, Park Ridge, West 10th Street, Garfield, Riverview Heights.
Local housing stock
Only 54.2 percent of Sioux Falls's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1993 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. With a median of 1993 and under half the stock older, the city was protected by digging a diversion around it, which left the original river course running through the middle of town carrying only a fraction of the flow.
Climate & seasonal risk
5 months in Sioux Falls have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 7.4 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in June at 4.59 inches of an annual 28.3; both figures recorded at SIOUX FALLS WFO AP, 3.3 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.59 inches of a 28-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain arrives in early summer; the diversion is designed for exactly that and the old channel is not.
How water losses tend to end in Sioux Falls
- An old channel through town that looks harmless, so the risk along it is underestimated
- Protection depending on a structure upstream, so the whole city relies on it working
- Ground water still following the original course, so the old line matters below the surface
